DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone,
In particular, it relates to a new mobile phone equipped with a new auto-redial function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to various factors such as a reduction in communication equipment and communication connection costs, portable telephones (in this specification, all portable telephones such as cellular phones and PHSs are simply called "mobile telephones". Is rapidly spreading.

[0003] Some of such portable telephones have an automatic redial function or an automatic dial function. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-164208 discloses a mobile phone which dials an emergency alert destination telephone number registered in a ROM when an emergency alert switch is operated. According to the technology disclosed in the publication, emergency notification (emergency notification) can be performed quickly and reliably.

In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-285294, a user's voice message is stored in advance, and when a predetermined call key is pressed, a call is made to a pre-registered destination telephone number. There is disclosed a mobile phone capable of automatically transmitting a pre-stored voice message to a destination after a call is connected. According to the technology disclosed in the publication, even in a situation where calling is refrained as a manner of the user, it is possible to transmit a voice message without disturbing the surroundings, and thus the value of the mobile phone Can be improved.

A redial function is often provided even if it is not a portable telephone.
No. 0 discloses an automatic dial telephone apparatus that can repeatedly execute a calling operation a preset number of times and continue a series of calling operations and redialing operations until a connection with the other party is established. According to the technology disclosed in the publication, it is possible to repeatedly attempt a call connection to a desired destination by a simple operation, and to reduce a user's trouble when making a ticket reservation by telephone, for example. Can be.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-107886 also discloses the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
A technique similar to that of Japanese Patent No. 85294 is disclosed. In the technique disclosed in the publication, particularly, when the destination responds to the automatic call, a transmission message is transmitted, and the fact that the destination responded is displayed on the display unit. The user can easily confirm completion or incompleteness.

[0007]

However, the above prior art has the following problems.

(1) The use of the auto-redial / auto-dial function is limited, and various functions cannot be created and used as required by the user. Certainly, the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-164208 makes it possible to easily issue an emergency alert.
In the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 107886 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-285294, a message can be transmitted to the other party. However, the operation after the automatic redial connection cannot be arbitrarily set by the user. For this reason, the auto redial function is not necessarily meaningful for all users.

(2) Once the auto redial operation is started, it is necessary to wait a predetermined time between each call. In other words, in the auto redial function, since each call must be made at a predetermined time interval by law, the user does not have to wait for the next call for a predetermined time based on the factory setting. Not be. For this reason, when it is desired to immediately perform a re-call during the auto-redial operation, for example, an operation of temporarily stopping the auto-redial operation must be performed, and then the re-call must be manually performed, which is troublesome. .

(3) The user cannot confirm that the automatic redial / auto-dial operation has been started without visually confirming the portable telephone in an emergency or during a congestion. When an emergency alert is issued, it is desirable that the user can surely grasp that the emergency alert has been issued. However, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-164208 has no such consideration. Also, when transmitting a message such as "Return home now" to the other party using the auto-redial function at the time of congestion, it is desirable to be able to easily confirm whether or not the message has been transmitted. JP-A-10-107886 and JP-A-10-107886
According to the technique disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. -285294, there is no other way than to check the display on the display by taking out the mobile phone.

(4) If the call connection is completed by the auto-dial operation, there is no means for surely informing the user of the connection. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-107886 discloses a technique for displaying a call connection on a display unit when a call connection is completed by an auto-redial operation. It has to be taken out from a pocket or the like and checked visually, and it is difficult to confirm the completion of the call connection in an emergency or in a congestion where the mobile phone cannot be taken out.

(5) The auto-redial function can be used without taking out the mobile phone from a bag, a pocket, or the like even when the train is crowded, and the auto-redial function can be used immediately in an emergency. There is no such special consideration. For example, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-285294, by pressing a call key,
Auto redial and message transmission are performed, but no consideration is given to ensure that the call key can be pressed without visual confirmation.

(6) In a portable telephone, it is desirable to use a button for activating the auto-redial function for various operations related to the auto-redial function from the viewpoint of miniaturization of the apparatus and improvement of operability. Care must be taken to avoid inadvertently starting the auto-redial function and starting communication, but there is no such consideration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to allow a user to set the details of an auto-redial function in advance and assign it to a single button for various purposes. To realize a new auto-redial function that can be used for

It is a second object of the present invention to realize a new auto redial function that allows a user to immediately perform a recall at a desired timing even during an auto redial.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a new auto redial function that allows a user to confirm that an auto redial operation has been started without visually checking the mobile phone even in an emergency or during congestion. It is to realize.

It is a fourth object of the present invention to realize a new auto redial function capable of surely informing a user that a call connection has been completed by an auto dial operation.

A fifth object is to enable the use of the auto-redial function without taking out the portable telephone from a bag or a pocket even during congestion, and to immediately use the auto-redial function even in an emergency. It is to provide a new mobile phone.

A sixth object of the present invention is to provide a novel portable telephone which enables an operation relating to an auto-redial function with a small number of buttons and which does not inadvertently start an auto-redial operation.

Specifically, two processes are assigned to the second process.
That is, when the auto redial transmission button 22 is kept pressed for a predetermined time (here, 2 seconds), a telephone call is automatically made to the telephone number registered in advance as described above. The call at this time is automatically redialed, and the automatic call is repeatedly made at a predetermined time interval and a predetermined number of times until the other party answers. On the other hand, less than a predetermined time (that is, 2
If the pressing of the auto redial transmission button 22 is stopped in less than (seconds), details of the currently set auto redial function are displayed on the display unit 12. in this way,
By assigning two processes related to the auto redial function to the auto redial transmission button 22,
Operability of the mobile phone can be further improved.
In addition, by allocating two processes to one button, the number of buttons of the mobile phone can be reduced, and the size of the mobile phone can be reduced.

Here, a procedure for setting a connection operation with respect to the automatic redial function of the mobile phone according to the present embodiment will be described.

When setting the connection operation of the auto redial function in the mobile phone according to the present embodiment, the function selection key 26 in FIG. 1 is vertically pressed as shown in FIG. After that, the number assigned to the menu group for connection operation setting, such as “403”, is pressed by the ten keys of the operation unit 32. As a result, a screen as shown in FIG. The display unit 12 can display four columns of characters.
The current settings are displayed in the third and fourth rows. The figure shows that the current setting is made in a state where the automatic redial transmission is not used. Here, when the function selection key 26 is vertically pressed again, a password input screen appears as shown in FIG. In response to this, a preset personal identification number is input using the numeric keypad of the operation unit 32. By requesting the input of the personal identification number in this way, the automatic redial function can be used more safely. After the input of the personal identification number is completed, the function selection key 26 is moved up and down to select the number of redials. That is, operation information is given from the operation unit 32 to the processing circuit 28 by operating the function selection key 26, and the processing circuit 28
"Up to 3 calls until answering", "Up to 6 answering"
"Calls up to 15 times"
Characters such as "not used" are sequentially displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. When the user selects the desired redial content, the user then presses the function selection key 26 vertically. Thereby, the number of redials is set.

The call destination by the auto redial transmission button 22 is registered in a predetermined storage area of the memory 30 (for example, registration number "000" in the telephone directory). In this case, if the telephone number is not registered in the predetermined storage area, the automatic redial transmission button 22
By pressing, the registration screen of the other party appears immediately. Thereby, even when the automatic redial transmission button 22 is pressed even though the destination is not set, it is possible to promptly inform the user that the destination is not registered, thereby further improving operability. it can.

Next, a procedure for setting an operation after a call is connected to the other party using the auto redial transmission button 22 will be described.

In this case, first, the function selection key 26 is vertically pressed. Thereafter, a number, such as “404”, assigned to a menu group for setting an operation during a call, for example, is pressed by the ten keys of the operation unit 32. As a result, a screen as shown in FIG. In this case, similarly, the current settings are displayed in the third and fourth rows. Subsequently, by raising or lowering the function selection key 26, the operation contents during the call are sequentially displayed on the third and fourth rows of the display unit 12. Specifically, "loudspeaker mode ON", "message * times", "loudspeaker mode ON → message * times",
Menus such as “message * times → end call”, “message * times → message memo → end call”, and “normal call” are sequentially displayed on the third and fourth rows of the display unit 12. Here, * mark is 1,
Numbers such as 3, 5 are inserted in order. When the user raises or lowers the function selection key 26 to set and select a desired operation during a call, the user presses the function selection key 26 vertically. Thereby, the operation content after the call connection by the automatic redial transmission button 22 is determined by the content currently displayed on the display unit 12.

Here, "loudness mode ON" is a setting for increasing the volume from the earpiece and the microphone sensitivity. According to this setting, the user can hear the voice from the other party without picking up the telephone after the automatic redial, and can respond to it without picking up the mobile phone. The “message * times” is such that the mobile phone according to the present embodiment is capable of recording a message voice in advance, as described later, and this is indicated at “* times”. This is a setting for transmitting to the called party the number of times. This "message *
By using the setting including “times”, a simple voice message can be sent to the other party even in a situation where a call with a mobile phone should be refrained, such as in a bus or a train.

Further, "Speaking mode ON → Message *
"Time" is a setting for turning on the loudspeaker mode after a call is connected by auto-redial, and at the same time automatically transmitting a previously recorded message the number of times indicated by "*". “Message * times → end call” is a setting for automatically disconnecting the line connection after automatically transmitting a pre-recorded message the number of times designated by *. By setting the automatic disconnection in this way, the call time can be reduced. "Message * times → Record message memo → End call"
Automatically sends a pre-recorded message the number of times specified by “* times” and then processes the voice from the other party
This is a setting for recording in the memory 30 via the memory 8 and automatically disconnecting the call connection after the recording is completed. In this way, a reply to the transmitted message can be recorded. The “normal call” is a setting for maintaining a call connection with normal speaker volume and microphone sensitivity without using the loudspeaker mode or the like.

Next, a procedure for recording a message in advance for message voice transmission will be described.

In this case, the function selection key 26 is vertically pressed, and, for example, “4
A number assigned to a menu group for message recording, such as "05", is pressed. Then, a screen as shown in FIG. 5A or FIG. 5B appears on the display unit 12.
FIG. 7A is a display example when a message has not been recorded yet. FIG. 3B is a screen displayed when there is a message that has already been recorded, and the recording date and time of the message that has already been recorded is displayed at the last stage. When the function selection key 26 is further vertically pressed on the screen shown in FIG. 7A or FIG. 7B, the screen shown in FIG. This screen is a screen for urging the user to start recording a message. In response to this, by pressing a “memo” button (not shown) included in the operation unit 32 for 1 second or more, as shown in FIG. A screen appears on the display unit 12, and message recording is started. To record a message, a voice is picked up by the microphone 14, which is encoded by the processing circuit 28 and
This is done by storing it in

When a predetermined recording time has elapsed, the recording is automatically stopped, and a message shown in FIG. Then, the recorded message is reproduced and output from the speaker 10. If the "memo" button is pressed again during message recording, the recording is terminated at that point. In order to delete the message, a “clear” button or the like may be pressed during recording. Thereafter, the screen shown in FIG. 7F appears on the display unit 12, and after the display continues for a predetermined time, returns to the normal menu screen.

Next, the operation for performing the automatic redial transmission will be described.

To make an automatic redial call, the user presses the auto redial call button 22 for two seconds or more. Auto redial call button 22 as described above
If the button is pressed for less than 2 seconds, the automatic redial transmission will not be performed, but information regarding the automatic redial transmission will be used instead.
Specifically, specific setting contents of the automatic redial transmission are displayed on the display unit 12. When the auto-redial transmission button 22 is pressed for two seconds or more, a screen including a message to start the automatic redial transmission is displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the processing circuit 28 supplies power to the vibrator 11 and vibrates the mobile phone for about one second. This allows the user to confirm that the automatic redial transmission has been started.

Thereafter, the processing circuit 28 displays a telephone number on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. 3B, and makes a call to the number. The destination telephone number in this case is a telephone number registered in a predetermined storage area provided in the memory 30 as described above. If the call connection is not successful, such as when the call is busy or when the other party does not respond even after a one-minute call, the call waits for a predetermined time. During standby, the remaining transmission number is displayed as shown in FIG. The redial is performed up to the number of times set by the connection procedure setting menu.

It is to be noted that the feature of this portable telephone is that when the auto-redial transmission button is pressed during the standby, a re-call to the telephone number registered in the predetermined storage area is immediately performed. . In this way, the user can freely make a call again without being restricted by specifications (legal).

Next, the redial is repeated in this manner, and when the call connection to the other party is successful, the vibrator 11 vibrates for about 2 seconds. As described above, if the vibrator 11 is vibrated when the call connection is successful, the user can quickly confirm the completion of the connection without checking the display unit 12.

After the call is connected, the operation is performed according to the contents set in advance. For example, when “loudspeaker mode ON → 3 times message” is set in advance, the screen shown in FIG. In this case, the message previously recorded in the memory 30 is transmitted to the other party three times via the processing circuit 28 and the antenna 24,
The message is transmitted at a predetermined interval, and a message that the message is being transmitted is displayed on the display unit 12. Further, since the loudspeaker mode is set to ON, the picture of the speaker is displayed on the third row of the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. 3D, and the volume of the speaker 10 and the sensitivity of the microphone 14 are increased. When the operation during the call, such as sending a message, is completed, a message indicating that the call is being made is displayed on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. As a result, a normal call can be made. Note that the loudspeaker mode is O
When N is set, the user can talk with the other party without holding the mobile phone.

In order to end the call, the on-hook button may be pressed as usual. Also, when "end" is set in advance, the call connection is automatically disconnected. As a result, useless call time can be eliminated.

(3) Usage Example A usage example of the mobile phone according to the present embodiment will be described. For example, if "one message voice → end call" is set as the operation during a call, and the home telephone number is set as the other party's telephone number, the surrounding area can be used at a rush hour home or the like on the way home from work. You can send a message to your home with one hand while keeping your mobile phone in your pocket without bothering others. At this time, with this mobile phone, it is possible to confirm by the vibration of the vibrator that the calling operation has been started and that someone picked up the phone at home.

Further, the mobile phone according to the present embodiment is suitable for use in ticket reservation and the like. In this case, the telephone number of the ticket reservation center is set in advance as the call destination, and “normal call” is set as the operation during the call. In this way, simply pressing and holding the auto redial transmission button 22 automatically establishes a call connection with the ticket reservation center. And
If the connection to the ticket reservation center is successful, the user can know from the vibrator 11 or the speaker 10 that the call has been connected. For this reason, the user can be immersed in other work until then.

Further, in the portable telephone according to the present embodiment, the call can be immediately made to the other party only by pressing the automatic redial transmission button 22 again while waiting for the call in the automatic redial. You will be able to call the other party as many times as you want without being bound by the restrictions (legal) of the specification. Therefore, it is also suitable for use for ticket reservation and the like.

According to the portable telephone according to the present embodiment described above, while the conventional auto-redial transmission is used only for a limited use such as in an emergency, the operation during a call can be arbitrarily set. Can be used for various purposes. In addition, a mobile phone is often carried in a pocket or bag, but the mobile phone according to the present embodiment can be operated by a user even in a pocket or bag, so that the user can check the operation of the mobile phone in a congested or emergency situation. Etc. can also be suitably used. Further, since the auto redial transmission button 22 is disposed at the corner of the housing of the mobile phone, even if the mobile phone is placed in a pocket or a bag, or when it is dark, the auto redial transmission button 22 is easily groped. Will be able to do.

The mobile phone according to the present embodiment described above can be variously modified.

For example, as to the operation during a call, only six modes are shown in the above description, but other modes may be added to the menu. Although the telephone number of the automatic redial destination is stored in advance in the memory 30 inside the mobile phone, other known functions (redial button) for retrieving the called telephone number and the telephone number of the other party are stored by the telephone directory. By searching for a telephone number and subsequently pressing the automatic redial transmission button 22, the operation may be shifted to the automatic redial transmission operation immediately.
This makes it possible to easily perform an automatic redial call to a family member who has already made a call, a ticket reservation center, a close relative, or the like.
